Communication from the Commission amending the Annex to the Communication from the Commission to the Member States on the application of Article 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance

(2013/C 372/01)

I.   INTRODUCTION

| (1) | The Communication from the Commission to the Member States on the application of Article 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance (1) (the Communication) stipulates in paragraph 13 that State insurers (2) cannot provide short-term export-credit insurance for marketable risks. Marketable risks are defined in paragraph 9 as commercial and political risks with a maximum risk period of less than two years, on public and non-public buyers in the countries listed in the Annex to that Communication. |

The Communication from the Commission to the Member States on the application of Article 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance (1) (the Communication) stipulates in paragraph 13 that State insurers (2) cannot provide short-term export-credit insurance for marketable risks. Marketable risks are defined in paragraph 9 as commercial and political risks with a maximum risk period of less than two years, on public and non-public buyers in the countries listed in the Annex to that Communication.

| (2) | As a consequence of the difficult situation in Greece, a lack of insurance or reinsurance capacity to cover exports to Greece was observed in 2012. This led the Commission to amend the Communication of the Commission to the Member States pursuant to Article 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance, by temporarily removing Greece from the list of marketable risks countries (3). This modification expires on 31 December 2013. As a consequence, as from 1 January 2014, Greece would in principle be considered again as marketable, since all EU Member States are included in the list of marketable countries listed in the Annex to the Communication. |

As a consequence of the difficult situation in Greece, a lack of insurance or reinsurance capacity to cover exports to Greece was observed in 2012. This led the Commission to amend the Communication of the Commission to the Member States pursuant to Article 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance, by temporarily removing Greece from the list of marketable risks countries (3). This modification expires on 31 December 2013. As a consequence, as from 1 January 2014, Greece would in principle be considered again as marketable, since all EU Member States are included in the list of marketable countries listed in the Annex to the Communication.

| (3) | However, in accordance with paragraph 36 of the Communication, three months before the temporary removal ceases, the Commission has started to review the situation in order to determine whether the current market situation justifies the expiry of Greece’s removal from the list of marketable risk countries in 2014, or whether the market capacity is still insufficient to cover all economically justifiable risks, so that a prolongation is needed. |

However, in accordance with paragraph 36 of the Communication, three months before the temporary removal ceases, the Commission has started to review the situation in order to determine whether the current market situation justifies the expiry of Greece’s removal from the list of marketable risk countries in 2014, or whether the market capacity is still insufficient to cover all economically justifiable risks, so that a prolongation is needed.

II.   ASSESSMENT

| (4) | When determining whether the lack of sufficient private capacity to cover all economically justifiable risks justifies the prolongation of the temporary removal of Greece from the list of marketable risk countries, the Commission consulted and sought information from Member States, private credit insurers and other interested parties. The Commission published an information request on the availability of short term export credit insurance for exports to Greece on 8 October 2013 (4). The deadline for replies expired on 6 November 2013. 24 replies were received from Member States, private insurers and exporters. |

The deadline for replies expired on 6 November 2013. 24 replies were received from Member States, private insurers and exporters.

| (5) | Information submitted to the Commission or available to it, clearly indicates that there is still insufficient private export credit insurance capacity for Greece and that no significant capacity is forecasted to become available in near future. The total insured turnover for Greek risks has remained constantly low in 2012/2013. Private export-credit insurers remain cautious in providing insurance coverage for exports to Greece and do not offer sufficient insurance capacity for new credit insurance limits or even to cover existing turnovers. At the same time, State insurers continued to register increasing demand for credit insurance for exports to Greece as a result of the lack of availability of private insurance. No submissions provided data indicating that Greece should be reinserted in the list of marketable countries. |

No submissions provided data indicating that Greece should be reinserted in the list of marketable countries.

| (6) | Since the decision to temporarily remove Greece from the list of marketable countries in December 2012, private capacity has not been restored in 2013. Respondents confirmed that the situation is particularly difficult for small and medium sized exporters and in some cases a complete stop of underwritings has been registered. The majority of the submissions considered that private capacity is still too narrow to insure exports to Greece and it is expected to only expand to a limited extent in 2014. The analysis of the Commission on the lack of sufficient private export credit insurance capacity for Greece, as set out in that decision, remains valid. |

The analysis of the Commission on the lack of sufficient private export credit insurance capacity for Greece, as set out in that decision, remains valid.

| (7) | The economic outlook for Greece has been conservatively revised upwards since last December (5). However, according to the European Economic Forecast — Autumn 2013, the Greek economy remains in recession, with a real GDP contracting at decelerating pace during 2013. Real GDP is expected to expand in 2014 mainly due to exports and investment. In contrast, private consumption is expected to still decline, in line with disposable income. At the same time, according to information submitted during the public consultation, the total number of business insolvencies is expected to continue to rise in 2014. |

Notice of initiation of an expiry review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steel originating in Belarus, the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine

(2013/C 372/10)

Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry (1) of the anti-dumping measures in force on the imports of certain welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steel originating in Belarus, the People's Republic of China, Russia, Thailand and Ukraine, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request for review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (2) (‘the basic Regulation’).

1.   Request for review

The request was lodged on 18 September 2013 by the Defence Committee of the welded steel tubes industry of the European Union (‘the applicant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of certain welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steel.

2.   Product under review

The product subject to this review is welded tubes and pipes, of iron or non-alloy steel, of circular cross-section and of an external diameter not exceeding 168,3 mm, excluding line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines, casing and tubing of a kind used in drilling for oil or gas, precision tubes and tubes and pipes with attached fittings suitable for conducting gases or liquids for use in civil aircraft originating in Belarus, the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine (‘the product under review’), currently falling within CN codes ex 7306 30 41, ex 7306 30 49, ex 7306 30 72 and ex 7306 30 77.

3.   Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1256/2008 of 16 December 2008 (3).

4.   Grounds for the review

The request is based on the grounds that the expiry of the measures on imports from Belarus, the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine (‘the countries concerned’) would be likely to result in recurrence of dumping and recurrence of injury to the Union industry.

4.1.   
  Allegation of likelihood of recurrence of dumping

Since, in view of the provisions of Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation, Belarus and the People's Republic of China are considered to be non-market economy countries, the applicant established normal value for the imports from Belarus and the People's Republic of China on the basis of the price in a market economy third country, namely the United States of America, allegedly still an appropriate analogue country. With regard to imports from Belarus, the allegation of likelihood of recurrence of dumping is based on a comparison of the normal value thus established with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product under review when sold for export to Russia as there are currently no significant import volumes from Belarus to the Union. With regard to imports from the People's Republic of China, the allegation of likelihood of recurrence of dumping is based on a comparison of the normal value thus established with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product under review when sold to all destinations as there are currently no significant import volumes from the People's Republic of China to the Union.

With regard to imports from Russia, the allegation of likelihood of recurrence of dumping is based on a comparison of domestic price with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product under review when sold for export to Azerbaijan as there are currently no significant import volumes from Russia to the Union. With regard to imports from Ukraine, the allegation of likelihood of recurrence of dumping is based on a comparison of domestic price with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product under review when sold for export to all destinations as there are currently no significant import volumes from Ukraine to the Union.

On the basis of the above comparison, which shows dumping, the applicant alleges that there is a likelihood of recurrence of dumping from the countries concerned.

4.2.   
  Allegation of likelihood of recurrence of injury

The applicant alleges the likelihood of recurrence of injury. In this respect the applicant has provided sufficient evidence that, should measures be allowed to lapse, the current import level of the product under review from the countries concerned to the Union is likely to increase due to the existence of unused capacity of the manufacturing facilities of the exporting producers in the countries concerned and due to the attractiveness of the European Union market in terms of size and in terms of geographic proximity (the latter with regard to Belarus, Russia and Ukraine).

The applicant finally alleges that the removal of injury has been mainly due to the existence of measures and that any recurrence of substantial imports at dumped prices from the countries concerned would likely lead to a recurrence of injury to the Union industry should measures be allowed to lapse.

5.   Procedure

Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an expiry review, the Commission hereby initiates a review in accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.

5.1.   
  Procedure for the determination of a likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping

Exporting producers (4) of the product under review from the countries concerned, including those that did not cooperate in the investigation(s) leading to the measures in force, are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

5.1.1.   Investigating exporting producers

5.1.1.1.   Procedure for selecting exporting producers to be investigated in the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine

Sampling

In view of the potentially large number of exporting producers in the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine involved in this expiry review and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit the exporting producers to be investigated to a reasonable number by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary, and if so, to select a sample, all exporting producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, including the ones who did not cooperate in the investigation leading to the measures subject to the present review, are hereby requested to make themselves known to the Commission. These parties have to do so within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified, by providing the Commission with the information on their company(ies) requested in Annex A to this notice.

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of exporting producers, the Commission will also contact the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine and may contact any known association of exporting producers.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample, excluding the information requested above, must do so within 21 days of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

If a sample is necessary, the exporting producers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of exports to the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known exporting producers, the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine and associations of exporting producers will be notified by the Commission, via the authorities of these countries if appropriate, of the companies selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation with regard to exporting producers, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporting producers selected to be in the sample, to any known association of exporting producers and to the authorities of the people's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine.

All exporting producers selected to be in the sample, any known association of exporting producers and the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine will have to submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

Without prejudice to the possible application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation, companies that have agreed to their possible inclusion in the sample but are not selected to be in the sample will be considered to be cooperating (‘non-sampled cooperating exporting producers’).

5.1.1.2.   Procedure for selecting exporting producers to be investigated in Belarus

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation with regard to exporting producers, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporting producers in Belarus, to any known association of exporting producers, and to the authorities of Belarus.

The exporting producers, where applicable, the associations of exporting producers and the authorities of Belarus must submit the completed questionnaire within 37 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

5.1.2.   Additional procedure with regard to exporting producers in the non-market economy countries concerned

Selection of a market economy third country

In accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, in the case of imports from the Belarus and the People's Republic of China normal value will be determined on the basis of the price or constructed value in a market economy third country.

In the previous investigation the United States of America was used as a market economy third country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of Belarus and the People's Republic of China. For the purpose of the current investigation, the Commission envisages using again the United States of America. Interested parties are hereby invited to comment on the appropriateness of this choice within 10 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

5.1.3.   Investigating unrelated importers
   (5)
   (6)

Unrelated importers of the product under review from Belarus, the People's Republic of China, Russia and Ukraine to the Union are invited to participate in this investigation.

In view of the potentially large number of unrelated importers involved in this expiry review and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit the investigation to a reasonable number of unrelated importers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all unrelated importers, or representatives acting on their behalf, including the ones who did not cooperate in the investigation leading to the measures subject to the present review, are hereby requested to make themselves known to the Commission. These parties must do so within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified, by providing the Commission with the information on their company(ies) requested in Annex B to this notice.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of unrelated importers, the Commission may also contact any known associations of importers.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample, excluding the information requested above, must do so within 21 days of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

If a sample is necessary, the importers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of sales of the product under review in the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known unrelated importers and associations of importers will be notified by the Commission of the companies selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the sampled unrelated importers and to any known association of importers. These parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of the notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

5.2.   
  Procedure for the determination of a likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of injury

In order to establish whether there is a likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of injury to the Union industry, Union producers of the product under review are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

5.2.1.   Investigating Union producers

In view of the large number of Union producers involved in this expiry review and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission has decided to limit the investigation to a reasonable number of Union producers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling is carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

The Commission has provisionally selected a sample of Union producers. Details can be found in the file for inspection by interested parties. Interested parties are hereby invited to consult the file (for this they should contact the Commission using the contact details provided in section 5.6 below). Other Union producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, including Union producers who did not cooperate in the investigation(s) leading to the measures in force, that consider that there are reasons why they should be included in the sample must contact the Commission within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample must do so within 21 days of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

All known Union producers and/or associations of Union producers will be notified by the Commission of the companies finally selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the sampled Union producers and to any known associations of Union producers. These parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of the notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

5.3.   
  Procedure for the assessment of Union interest

Should the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury be confirmed, a decision will be reached, pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, as to whether maintaining the anti-dumping measures would not be against the Union interest. Union producers, importers and their representative associations, users and their representative associations, and representative consumer organisations are invited to make themselves known within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified. In order to participate in the investigation, the representative consumer organisations have to demonstrate, within the same deadline, that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under review.

Parties that make themselves known within the above deadline may provide the Commission with information on the Union interest within 37 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified. This information may be provided either in a free format or by completing a questionnaire prepared by the Commission. In any case, information submitted pursuant to Article 21 will only be taken into account if supported by factual evidence at the time of submission.

5.4.   
  Other written submissions

Subject to the provisions of this notice, all interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known, submit information and provide supporting evidence. Unless otherwise specified, this information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within 37 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

5.5.   
  Possibility to be heard by the Commission investigation services

All interested parties may request to be heard by the Commission investigation services. Any request to be heard must be made in writing and must specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within the specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

5.6.

Notice of initiation of an anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports of polyester staple fibres originating in the People’s Republic of China, India and Vietnam

(2013/C 372/12)

The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a complaint pursuant to Article 10 of Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), alleging that imports of polyester staple fibres (‘PSF’), originating in the People’s Republic of China, India and Vietnam are being subsidised and are thereby causing material injury to the Union industry.

1.   Complaint

The complaint was lodged on 4 November 2013 by the European Man-made Fibres Association (‘CIRFS’) (‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of PSF.

2.   Product under investigation

The product subject to this investigation is synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning (‘the product under investigation’).

3.   Allegation of subsidisation

The product allegedly being subsidised is the product under investigation, originating in the People’s Republic of China, India and Vietnam (‘the countries concerned’), currently falling within CN code 5503 20 00. This CN code is given for information only.

The prima facie evidence provided by the complainant shows that the producers of the product concerned from the People’s Republic of China, India and Vietnam have benefited from a number of subsidies granted by the Governments of the People’s Republic of China, India and Vietnam, respectively.

In the case of the People’s Republic of China, the subsidies consist, inter alia, of the government provision of input products for less than adequate remuneration and the government entrustment and direction of private suppliers, preferential lending to the PSF industry by state-owned banks and the government entrustment and direction of private banks, development grants and interest subsidies for the textile sector, the ‘Go Global’ Special Fund, the Trade Promotion Fund for Agriculture, Light Industry and Textile Products, income tax exemptions on foreign (Investment) Enterprises, income tax exemptions on dividend income between qualified resident enterprises, income tax reductions for recognised high and new technology enterprises, income tax reductions in special economic zones, income tax reductions for export-oriented enterprises, tax credits of up to 40 % of the purchase value of domestically produced equipment, tariffs and/or value-added tax exemptions on imported equipment and on purchases of domestically manufactured equipment, government provision of land-use rights, government provision of electricity and water. In addition, the subsidies consist of, inter alia, tax (and other) exemptions in development zones in the Province of Jiangsu, tax incentives and preferential rents in the City of Changzhou, export incentives and technology grants in the Province of Zhejiang, tax and duty incentives in development zones, export incentives, reimbursement of legal fees, foreign trade activities (special) funds programme, loan interest subsidies to support technological innovation projects in the Province of Guangdong, preferential tax rates in development zones and preferential infrastructure, lending and tax policies for export-oriented enterprises in the Province of Shanghai.

In the case of India, the subsidies consist, inter alia, of duty credits under the Focus Market Scheme and the Focus Product Scheme, the Advance Authorisation Scheme, the Duty Entitlement Passbook Scheme, the Duty Drawback Scheme, the Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme, tax and duty exemptions and reductions in Export Oriented Units and the Special Economic Zones, the Export Credit Scheme, the Income Tax Exemption Scheme, the Incremental Exports Incentivisation Scheme, the Duty free import authorisation scheme, the Market development assistance scheme and loan guarantees. In addition, the subsidies consist of, inter alia, the Capital Investment Incentive Scheme of the Government of Gujarat, the Gujarat Sales Tax Incentive Scheme and Electricity Duty Exemption Scheme, West Bengal Subsidy Schemes — incentives and tax concessions, including grants and the exemption of sales tax, the Maharashtra Electricity Duty Exemption Scheme.

In the case of Vietnam, the subsidies consist, inter alia, of government provision of goods to the PSF industry by state-owned enterprises for less than adequate remuneration, government incentives (in the form of tax and duty exemptions and preferential loans) in the Dinh Vu Industrial Zone, government preferential lending to the PSF industry from state-owned banks and the government entrustment and direction of private banks, government provision of land for less than adequate remuneration and exemptions or reductions from land and water rents under, inter alia, Decree No 142/2005/ND-CP, interest rate subsidies under, inter alia, Decision No 131/2009-QD-TTg, preferential income tax rates, tax exemptions or reduction under, inter alia, Decree No 164/2003/ND-CP amended and supplemented by Decrees No 152/2004/ND-CP and No 149/2005/ND-CP, tax and rent exemptions/reductions, government loans, interest rate supports, export credit preferences in Hi-Tech parks, industrial zones and industrial parks under, inter alia, Decisions No 53/2004/QD-TTg and Decree No 99/2003/ND-CP, income tax incentives under, inter alia, Decree 124-2008-ND-CP, exemptions from, and reimbursements of, import tax and export tax under, inter alia, Law No 45/2005/QH-11 and Decree No 87/2010/ND-CP. In addition, the subsidies consist of, inter alia, the following benefits under Decree No 51/1999/ND-CP, amended and supplemented by Decree No 35/2002/ND-CP, Decision No 55/2001/QD-TTg, Law No 59-2005-QH11 and Law on Foreign Investment in Vietnam, Decree No 61/2010/ND-CP, Decisions No 1483/QD-TTg and Decision No 12/2011: Import Duty Exemptions on raw materials and supplies, Tax and Duty Exemptions, accelerated depreciation, and preferential credit for foreign investment, Corporate Income Tax Incentives, preferential loans, grants, guarantees, tax benefits and provision of goods and services to supported industries for less than adequate remuneration, domestic investment support through e.g. export credits, provision of infrastructure and services for less than adequate remuneration, exemption from land use taxes and rents.

The Commission reserves the right to investigate other subsidies which may be revealed during the course of the investigation.

The prima facie evidence provided by the complainant shows that the above schemes are subsidies since they involve a financial contribution from the Governments of the People's Republic of China, India and Vietnam or other regional governments (including public bodies) and confer a benefit to the recipients. They are alleged to be contingent upon export performance and/or the use of domestic over imported goods and/or are limited to certain sectors and/or types of enterprises and/or locations, and are therefore specific and countervailable.

4.   Allegation of injury and causation

The complainant has provided evidence that imports of the product under investigation from the countries concerned have increased overall in absolute terms and have increased in terms of market share.

The prima facie evidence provided by the complainant shows that the import volume and the prices of the product under investigation have had, among other consequences, a negative impact on the level of prices charged and the market share held by the Union industry, resulting in substantial adverse effects on the overall performance and the financial situation of the Union industry.

5.   Procedure

Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that the complaint has been lodged by or on behalf of the Union industry and that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a proceeding, the Commission hereby initiates an investigation pursuant to Article 10 of the basic Regulation.

The investigation will determine whether the product under investigation originating in the countries concerned is being subsidised and whether these subsidised imports have caused injury to the Union industry. If the conclusions are affirmative, the investigation will examine whether the imposition of measures would not be against the Union interest.

The Governments of the People’s Republic of China, India and Vietnam have been invited for consultations.

5.1.   
  Procedure for the determination of subsidisation

Exporting producers (2) of the product under investigation from the countries concerned and the authorities of the countries concerned are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

5.1.1.   Investigating exporting producers

5.1.1.1.   Procedure for selecting exporting producers to be investigated in the countries concerned

(a)   Sampling

In view of the potentially large number of exporting producers in the People’s Republic of China, India and Vietnam involved in this proceeding and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit the exporting producers to be investigated to a reasonable number by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary, and if so, to select a sample, all exporting producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, are hereby requested to make themselves known to the Commission. These parties have to do so within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified, by providing the Commission with information on their company(ies) requested in Annex I to this notice.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of exporting producers, the Commission will also contact the authorities of the countries concerned and may contact any known associations of exporting producers.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample, excluding the information requested above, must do so within 21 days of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

If a sample is necessary, the exporting producers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of exports to the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known exporting producers, the authorities of the countries concerned and associations of exporting producers will be notified by the Commission, via the authorities of the countries concerned if appropriate, of the companies selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation with regard to exporting producers, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporting producers selected to be in the sample, to any known association of exporting producers, and to the authorities of the countries concerned.

All exporting producers, selected to be in the sample, and the authorities of the countries concerned will have to submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

The questionnaire for exporting producers will request information on, inter alia, the structure of the exporting producer's company(ies), the activities of the company(ies) in relation to the product under investigation, the total sales of the company(ies) and of the product under investigation and the amount of financial contribution and benefit from the alleged subsidies or subsidy programmes and any other similar or closely connected measures to these programmes.

The questionnaire for the authorities will request information on, inter alia, the alleged subsidies or subsidy programme(s), the authorities responsible for their operation, the manner and functioning of such operation, the legal basis, the eligibility criteria and other terms and conditions, the recipients and the amount of financial contribution and benefit conferred.

Without prejudice to the application of Article 28 of the basic Regulation companies that have agreed to their possible inclusion in the sample but are not selected to be in the sample will be considered to be cooperating (‘non-sampled cooperating exporting producers’). Without prejudice to section (b) below, the countervailing duty that may be applied to imports from non-sampled cooperating exporting producers will not exceed the weighted average margin of subsidisation established for the exporting producers in the sample (3).

(b)   Individual subsidy margin for companies not included in the sample

Non-sampled cooperating exporting producers may request, pursuant to Article 27(3) of the basic Regulation, that the Commission establish their individual subsidy margins. The exporting producers wishing to claim an individual subsidy margin must request a questionnaire and return it duly completed within 37 days of the date of notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

However, exporting producers claiming an individual subsidy margin should be aware that the Commission may nonetheless decide not to determine their individual subsidy margin if, for instance, the number of exporting producers is so large that such determination would be unduly burdensome and would prevent the timely completion of the investigation.

5.1.2.   Investigating unrelated importers
   (4)
   (5)

Unrelated importers of the product under investigation from the People’s Republic of China, India and Vietnam to the Union are invited to participate in this investigation.

In view of the potentially large number of unrelated importers involved in this proceeding and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit to a reasonable number the unrelated importers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all unrelated importers, or representatives acting on their behalf, are hereby requested to make themselves known to the Commission. These parties must do so within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified, by providing the Commission with the information on their company(ies) requested in Annex II to this notice.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of unrelated importers, the Commission may also contact any known associations of importers.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample, excluding the information requested above, must do so within 21 days of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

If a sample is necessary, the importers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of sales of the product under investigation in the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known unrelated importers and associations of importers will be notified by the Commission of the companies selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the sampled unrelated importers and to any known association of importers. These parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of the notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

The questionnaire will request information on, inter alia, the structure of their company(ies), the activities of the company(ies) in relation to the product under investigation and the sales of the product under investigation.

5.2.   
  Procedure for the determination of injury and investigating Union producers

A determination of injury is based on positive evidence and involves an objective examination of the volume of the subsidised imports, their effect on prices on the Union market and the consequent impact of those imports on the Union industry. In order to establish whether the Union industry is materially injured, Union producers of the product under investigation are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

5.2.1.   Investigating Union producers

In view of the large number of Union producers involved in this proceeding and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission has decided to limit to a reasonable number the Union producers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling is carried out in accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation.

The Commission has provisionally selected a sample of Union producers. Details can be found in the file for inspection by interested parties. Interested parties are hereby invited to consult the file (for this they should contact the Commission using the contact details provided in section 5.6 below). Other Union producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, that consider that there are reasons why they should be included in the sample must contact the Commission within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample must do so within 21 days of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

All known Union producers and/or associations of Union producers will be notified by the Commission of the companies finally selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the sampled Union producers and to any known association of Union producers. These parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of the notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

The questionnaire will request information on, inter alia, the structure of their company(ies) and the financial and economic situation of the company(ies).

5.3.   
  Procedure for the assessment of Union interest

Should the existence of subsidisation and injury caused thereby be established, a decision will be reached, pursuant to Article 31 of the basic Regulation, as to whether the adoption of anti-subsidy measures would not be against the Union interest. Union producers, importers and their representative associations, users and their representative associations, and representative consumer organisations are invited to make themselves known within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified. In order to participate in the investigation, the representative consumer organisations have to demonstrate, within the same deadline, that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under investigation.

Parties that make themselves known within the above deadline may provide the Commission with information on the Union interest within 37 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified. This information may be provided either in a free format or by completing a questionnaire prepared by the Commission. In any case, information submitted pursuant to Article 31 will only be taken into account if supported by factual evidence at the time of submission.

5.4.   
  Other written submissions

Subject to the provisions of this notice, all interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known, submit information and provide supporting evidence. Unless otherwise specified, this information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within 37 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

5.5.   
  Possibility to be heard by the Commission investigation services

All interested parties may request to be heard by the Commission investigation services. Any request to be heard should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within the specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

5.6.   
  Instructions for making written submissions and sending completed questionnaires and correspondence

All written submissions, including the information requested in this notice, completed questionnaires and correspondence provided by interested parties for which confidential treatment is requested shall be labelled ‘Limited’ (6).

Interested parties providing ‘Limited’ information are required to furnish non-confidential summaries of it pursuant to Article 29(2) of the basic Regulation, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’. These summaries should be sufficiently detailed to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance of the information submitted in confidence. If an interested party providing confidential information does not furnish a non-confidential summary of it in the requested format and quality, such confidential information may be disregarded.

Interested parties are required to make all submissions and requests in electronic format (non-confidential submissions via e-mail, confidential ones on CD-R/DVD), and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the interested party. However, any Powers of Attorney, signed certifications, and any updates thereof, accompanying questionnaire replies must be submitted on paper, i.e. by post or by hand, at the address below. If an interested party cannot provide its submissions and requests in electronic format, it must immediately contact the Commission in compliance with Article 28(2) of the basic Regulation.

6.   Non-cooperation

In cases where any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation.

Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information may be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.

If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

7.   Hearing Officer

Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer for the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties' rights of defence are being fully exercised.

A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered on issues pertaining, among other things, to subsidisation, injury, causal link and Union interest. Such a hearing would, as a rule, take place at the latest at the end of the fourth week following the disclosure of provisional findings.

For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on DG Trade's website http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/degucht/contact/hearing-officer/

8.   Schedule of the investigation

The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 11(9) of the basic Regulation within 13 months of the date of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. In accordance with Article 12(1) of the basic Regulation, provisional measures may be imposed no later than nine months from the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.
